Ivar Vidfamne

Ivar Vidfamne (650-720) was King of Sweden (succeeding Ingjald), Skane (succeeding Guthroethr of Skane), and Sjaelland (succeeding Hroerekr Ringslinger) and parts of Norway, Saxony, and England during the early 8th century, preceding Harald Wartooth.

Biography
Ivar Vidfamne was born in 650 CE, the son of Halfdan the Valiant and the nephew of Guthroethr of Skane. Ivar became king of Scania under his uncle, and he conquered Svealand from King Ingjald of Sweden. He then proceeded to conquer Scandinavia and parts of England, and he forced several Swedes out of his realm and into Varmland, the territory of King Olof Tratalja. After King Ingjald's suicide, Ivar conquered Sweden for himself, avenging the deaths of his father and uncle at the hands of Ingjald and his allied schemers. Ivar had his daughter Authr the Deep-Minded marry Hroerekr Ringslinger, and their son would be Harald Wartooth. Ivar died on campaign in northeastern Europe in 720, and Harald succeeded to all of his titles.
